So i went there today -- as promised.
I got a small chicken burrito with: rice, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, green pepper, guacamole, cilantro, salsa, and all 3 of their available sauces. This cost me a total of $7.90. The same price as a large Mondo burrito at taco del mar-- except on Wednesday -- also almost the same size as a mondo at TDM.
It was disappointing that they had just normal tomato and not Pico de dallo like taco del mar. Pico adds a pleasant tangy zing to TDMs burritos. The rice was dark in color and i could barely taste it. The salsa resembled store bought salsa and lacked the punch offered by TDMs. The refried beans left a bad taste in my mouth. and lastly, the chicken was bland.
After eating 3/4 of the burrito i wanted to cry, i didn't want anymore, but i didn't wanna throw it out -- it cost me a lot. Somehow i managed to force myself to finish it, but an pleasant taste lingered in my mouth after. If i could describe the taste in one word i would say dull.
I can't say with certainty that their food is horrible since i've only tried it once. I may have just gotten a bad batch, or a bad combination of toppings. But after that one burrito i don't want to try another.
This is just my opinion, but keep in mind that i'm an expert on food, I've been eating it for nearly 20 years now. I know my stuff.
